GENERAL

• Tweaked the porthole lighting in both campaign and battle to eliminate a slight red hue caused by sunlight.

PERFORMANCE

• Fixed a rare crash where a previously resolved dilemma remained in the event feed, causing the game to crash if the related character died later in the campaign.
• Fixed a freeze/crash that occurred when creating more than 254 settlements to one of the old ones with Nakai.
• Fixed a crash that occurred when disbanding a unit from a Waaagh army.

CAMPAIGN

​GENERAL/GAMEPLAY

• Fixed a bug where characters occasionally moved large distances after razing settlements, resulting in them being in different regions than the one they just razed. Now, after razing, an attacking army will move away one hex beyond the zone of control radius, while a surviving army will move three hexes away from the settlement.
• Fixed an issue where playing as Slaanesh and using the ‘Pleasure Hunt’ pleasurable activity could sometimes apply its effects multiple times.
• The Star-Metal Talons upgrade in Ikit Claw's Forbidden Workshop no longer grants vanguard deployment to Warp Grinder units, as they already have this attribute.
• Fixed an issue where effects providing immunity or damage resistance to attrition also affected desertion, such as in cases of bankruptcy.
• The Elector Count of Hochland position no longer provides a movement range bonus twice.

​ABILITIES/SKILLS/TRAITS

• Hero units that join Cathay caravans will now have spells or abilities where appropriate.
• Fixed an issue where upgrading a Chaos Sorcerer (Death) to a Nurgle Chaos Sorcerer (Death) would result in gaining the wrong trait.
• Fixed an issue where some effects meant for Nurgle characters were incorrectly applied to the Slaanesh Chaos Sorcerer.

ANCILLARIES

• ​The Experimental Explosive item gained from Cathay caravans can now be transferred to other characters.

​TECH TREE

• Fixed an issue where researching the ‘Grand Throne Chamber’ technology would unlock the Dwarf Lord ‘Mikael Leadstrong,’ who is meant to be obtained through legendary grudges.

RECRUITMENT

• ​The effects of different levels of province control no longer impact recruitment costs for Tomb Kings, as they do not incur recruitment costs.
• Character recruitment from buildings like The Deeps & Gardens of Morr was overriding normal character recruitment. Now, only the recruitment option with the highest lord rank will be displayed.

MISSIONS/VICTORY CONDITIONS

• Fixed an issue where some missions would double their settlement count when reloading saves.

CAMPAIGN UI/UX

• Fixed an issue where Harmony effects on buildings would display as a negative value when adding Yin.
• Added help page buttons to the Nurgle Plagues and Tamurkhan's Chieftains panels.
• Fixed a bug where players couldn't undo spent skill points for heroes.
• Fixed a bug where the Spices UI panel displayed landmarks alongside resource buildings at the Fortress of Dawn.
• Removed text references in the help pages to Chaos factions automatically declaring war to align with the intended design.
• Fixed an issue where the help pages would open behind the Bloodlines panel when playing as Vampire Counts.
• Fixed a display issue with army zone of control where old VFX instances remained after moving an army in ambush stance.
• Fixed an issue where the scroll position in the Allied Recruitment panel would reset when selecting a unit from an outpost as the first unit to be recruited; the scroll now stays in its correct position after selecting a unit, improving the recruitment flow.
• Clicking on the pin of a recruitable unit card should now correctly pin/unpin the card.
• Tweaked the entry in the effect lists of the Item Gained event popup to resolve occasional text bleeding issues in the UI.
• Fixed an issue where the Athel Loren landmark buildings did not display the landmark icon or tooltip.
• Resolved an issue where clicking on Pieces of Eight mission scrolls as the Vampire Coast incorrectly navigated to the Missions panel. The scrolls now correctly direct players to the Pieces of Eight panel, ensuring smoother navigation during treasure hunts.

CAMPAIGN ENVIRONMENT

• Fixed an issue on the campaign map where a horse in the Tor Saroir region (Averlorn start position) was clipping through an altar, improving visual consistency in the area.

BATTLE

​GENERAL/GAMEPLAY

• Fixed an issue where High Elf towers and some of the walls behind them would disappear after being destroyed in siege battles, while still functioning as intact barriers. Towers now leave rubble behind, and walls remain visible post-destruction. DEV NOTE: We are aware of ongoing related issues with other High Elves siege map destruction and are continuing to investigate.
• Fixed an issue where the enemy reinforcements displayed in the Event Message did not match those shown in the Objectives Panel for the Battle for the Armour of Glimril Scales quest battle.
• Fixed an issue where the Altar of Spawns settlement was not using the Norsca minor settlement battle map.

​BATTLE AI

• The AI is now less likely to use the General unit for solo harassment or outflanking.
• The AI-controlled Lord will no longer withdraw when ambushed if it has a good chance of winning.
• Fixed pathfinding on certain river maps to prevent the AI from attempting to cross through the water.
• Fixed a rare bug where enemy units were routing toward the player's units.
• Now, the reinforcements AI will join the fight more quickly if the main army is engaged in melee.
• Fixed a bug where the AI was attempting to go to the river while the enemy was already on the same side.
• Fixed a bug where the defending AI was constantly reforming in land battles.
• Now, the AI will attempt to synchronize the river assault groups based on the player’s positioning when passing through different crossings.
DEV NOTE: Previously, if the player was defending at only one location, the AI would lose units while those crossing at another location did not engage in combat. Now, the first group will wait until the second group crosses the river, allowing them to attack together.

UNITS GENERAL / ANIMATIONS

• Fixed a bug where Razorgor would move too far from the chariot during one of the attack animations.
• Fixed a bug where the Daemon Prince of Khorne was missing one of the weapons during flying attack animations.

• Fixed a bug where the Lahmian Vampire Lord's head texture does not appear correctly at certain LOD levels.

ENVIRONMENT
